Visitor Reviews
**★★★★★ Jon Bernardes — a month ago
Really very interesting but sadly models rather than archaeological materials
**★★★★★ Max Fisher — 4 months ago
This museum is very cool, there’s a huge variety of artefacts and models to suit a wide range of interests. It wasn’t too busy either, with plenty of space to read about the exhibits, take pictures, and generally enjoy the place. Excellent English language access, and a very cool app to enhance access.
**★★★★☆ Eric Finch — 4 months ago
Primarily interested in the Viking ship exhibition and really enjoyed the short film and excellent scale models of the Viking vessels they had. The museum is a good size, not taking to long to walk around.
**★★★★☆ Fida C — 8 months ago
Museum about maritime, particularly boat models & boat history (primarily Norwegian boats/ships). There are also sections that describe life as a sailor, ship salvages, and a 'funny' history of England attacking Dutch merchant boats in Bergen harbour. They have a cinema too which played history about Viking ship and burial when I visited. It's a small-medium museum, takes about 1 hour if you like boats,
**★★☆☆☆ Wendy — 5 months ago
It was small, clean, and a decent history of the fishing industry. The 2nd floor is mostly models of ships across the ages. My husband liked it, I was bored.
